the whole edifice, being well arranged, and happily
adapted to the education of this unfortunate class, pre
sents a most tasteful appearance. Comfortable accom
modation* can now be furnished for over one hundred
pupil*. Will not the friends of this Institution in every
county in tlie State, under whose eye this notice may
fall, urge tin* parents of all indigent Deaf Mutes to
send on their children and avail themselves of this noble
charity which the State 1ms generously provided for
their wants? We particularly solicit the aid ami co-oper
ation of all ministers of the gospel of every denomina
tion, in behalf of the Asylum, and request them to as
certain the residence and Post Otlice address of nil the
parents of deaf mutes iu the State, and inform tlie
Board of the same. •
Those who make application ns beneficiaries should
bring a certificate signed by two or more Justices of the
Inferior Court of the county in which such applicant
resides, certifying that he or she is over seven and un
der twenty-tour years old. in indigent circumstances,
and unable to educate themselves, free from immoral
conduct, or any contagious disease.

MULE RAISE KG*
T HE time baa arrived in my judgment when
the Planters of Hancock county, yea of the
State of Georgia, should protect themselves
against the ruinous necessity of buying mules at
the exorbitant prices of the present day.
We have looked too much to Kentucky and
Tennessee for supplies. IVhy? Because male
raising in Georgia has heretofore been a farce from
the fact that the Jacks of this country were small
and not competent to ureed mules worthy the at
tention of Stock Raisers; small Jacks aud poor
grazing will necessarily produce small mules,
though so far as Hancock county and its vicinity
is cone-rued, I propose to remedy the evil. I have
purchased a Jack, at a heavy expense, that will in
my opiuion breed large mules, notwithstanding
we have not the advantage of Blue grass and
clover.
My Jack, Prince Albert, is fifteen hands one
inch high and three 3 ears of age, and said to he
worth twenty-five hundred dollars by some of the
best Judges of such stock in the State of Tennes
see ; lie lias taken the first premium at several
Fairs ami at every Fair he has been exhibited.
He is of fair breeding stock and no mistake, and
as I had an eye particularly to sucii in my selec
tion, Planters may be assured there is no mistake
in it.
Planters that incline to raise mules I invite to
call aud see my Jack, and I have no doubt of their
patronage.
Prince Albert will stand the Spring season at
my residence, at twenty dollars, and persons at a
distance who wish to breed to him. I will accom
modate their mares with good grass pastures with
out charge and any left with me whose owners
wish fed with other food than grass I will charge
only the market price of such food without charg
ing any thing for attention.
The season will commence the first of March,
and those wishing to breed to Prince Albert will
do well to send in their names early, as I shall
limit the number of mares on account of the age
of my Jack, which will make the chances of those
that breed to him surer and better for good colts.
I will keep a Stallion as a teaser for Prince Al
bert which will remedy the great inconvenience
of not knowing when mares are in season.

mean.”
“Well I mean ole ‘StuffGut’. Did eny
ou ye ever see ’im!”
“No”
“Well ye missed a site. He war a dow-
erful dog, and sometimes ye’d think that
he wur two ur three clogs ef ye seed him
eat; not a countin of his tail, fur he hadn’t
eny. When he wur a pup, Dad, dum him
tuck ’im to a straw-cutter, jamed his staru
dost up tu the frame ove the cussed gulo-
tine, an foeh down the the knife an thar
lay the hole tail in the troft, like a letter
S, an here run the pup a youlin like a

Now as to bis looks, rite onto tlie spot

with a gristle stuck out like onto a pidgin’s
aig caze sot lie onto bit so much. Well,
the afar looked mity sassy and tite like,
enyhow, particulerly w hen be wur struttin
up tu a big strang dog tu smell ove ’iin. It
made his stum look liier than his solders
—perpendiculer and squar an he had a
way ovewalkin slow and solemn like I’ve
seed yuug fellers do at camp meetin when
approachin ove a gal at the spring with
their stud-hoss close on, agwine sorter side
ways and mity kecrful. I’ve seed little
hogs goin through the same motion, wun
in a peach orchard and tothcr in the lane,
when they lhot they wanted tu fite, and
wud a dun it but fur the feuce that wur
between em. I never found out, that be
wur good for eny thing but to keep bred
from moulden an meat from spilin; an when
be wanted to show glad es lie lied no tale
to wag, he wagged bis bole sturn an bis
bine feet slipped about on the groun, sorter
like a fashunabil gall walks when she
thinks some he feller is lookin at ’er. He
wur cullered adzactly like a mildewed sad-
il skirt, and he kerried bis years on a
knowin sort of cock, like onto a mule’s
when be is skeered. lle’d whiskers round
bis eyes, an on his bine legs, and must
bad a powerful activ consince fur be wur
tlie meanest countinenced dog I ever seed
in my life. Now as to bis natur, yu cud
never set him onto enytbing yu wanted tu
and cudn’t call ’im ofeu enything he got
arter on his own accord, Ho wur skeered
all the time and stud redy to run or tu steal
as the chances mout be; and taking ’itn
altogether, be wur jist the rite sort of a
dog to belong to me—not wurth a dum, an
orter been killed afore bis eyes got open.
Well Stuff Gut lie followed me to town
wun day, jist caze 1 didn’t want him tu;
and while 1 wur git tin on a lied ove steam
at the doggery he started roun town on a
stealin experdition ove his own, and like
his cussed fool owner got hisself inter a first
rate scrape an skare without half tryin, an
in nor no time at that. I lied gin myself a
shake in the doggery.au here the whiskey
in me slosh, I knowdl bad my load aboard
so 1 cum out inter the street an—the—fust
thing 1 seed be cum a tarin down the street
fifteen times faster nor 1 tliot he cud run,
jist a bowin ove liisself, his years shot Hat
onto his neck, an, his bristles all sot like
a black pearch’s top fin, bis eyes shot up
fast and tite, an be had on a sort ove har
ness made outer strings sorter like the set
dad wore when be acted boss, and be wur
haulen ove an old stage lantern an hit fill
ed with wet powder and sot a fire. How
the sparks an the scislin and the dust aud
the ratlin an the youlin an growlin an bark-
in an the eighty-nine or ninety dogs ove all
kinds wliat wur ebasiu ove him, made sum
sensashun. Well—it—did. Whew-w-w.
Wlieu I seed him pass without nowin me,
I thot ove Dad’s hornet tribulation, and
felt that thai war such a thing as a retribu
tion at last; and then I got mad and look
ed roun fur sum wun to vent rath on, and
seed a long-legged cuss, sorter of the Lov-
engood stripe, with his hat docked before,
sittiu a stradil ove a hoss rack, a swinging
bis legs and a singing—
“Rack back Davy, a rainin up beliine,
You show me your foot an I’ll show you mine.”
Thinks I you’ll do ef yu didn't start my
dog on that hellward experdition ove his’n,
yu’ll du tu put it on eny how so here goes
Sez I: “Miste-what-had-iny-dog-duu--tu
yu?” He paid no attention, but kept on
singing—
“Rack back Davy, dailuy shot a bar,
Shot 'em in the eye, and never toch a liar.”
1 seed it wur no use tryin tu breed a
quarrel: so that I mout be able tu breed
a fite an I jist lent him a slatherin calami
ty, rite wlmr bis snout commenced a sprou-
tin from atween liis eyes, with a ruff’ rock
about the size ove a goos aig. Hit fotch
’im! He drapped ofen tbe hoss rack, but
hilt a squirrel holt onto tbe pole w ith his
• paws and hind feet an bung back down. I
jumped bed fust through atween his belly
jaud the pole; my helft broke bis holt, and
‘we cum tu the ground a fitin—me onder-
most, an turned, heads and tails. So the
fust tiling I did was tu shut my jaws onto
a mouthful ove his steak, ni onto tbe place
whur yer foot itches to go when you ar in
kickin distance of a fop. He fit mitely
fur tbe chance be had, but I soon seed lie
bad a cross ovc bar in ’im fur be cudent
niand ticklin behind, ef i* moute be called
ticklin at all; fur every time be got bis
bine legs under biin, be tried his durndest
tu jump loose, but my bolt hilt; and we
would take our first persition again. 1 tliot
ove a matches what I bed in my pocket,
so 1 foch tbe whole boxful a rake onto the
gravel, and stuffed em ali a blazin inter
one ove tbe pockets in bis coat tail. Now
mind, he now’d nuthen of these persedins,
fur his mind wur exercised powerfull about
the liurtin I wur helpin im tu behine. I
know’d he’d soon show strong signs of
wantin tu go. So the fust big rare he foch
arter the fire reached bis hide, I jist let
mv mouth fly open—so—an he scent! bis
hole tail in a blaze! Hite heie, boys I must
tell yu suinthiu I dinu’t no myself, ordurn
me, ef I hedn’t let him beat me inter a
poultis, afore I’d a sot him afire—I'd
a seed him durn’d fust.—The thot on it
skeers me yet. He had two pounds ove
gun powder iu tother pocket, a takin home
to a shooting match. Well, lie aimed tu
run past a tin peddlin waggin, what was in
the street with a fust rate set ove old live
hoss bones atween the shafts, while the
Yankee was in tbe doggery, a firin up tu
leave town. Jist as he got close tu the
carryall, tbe powder cotcli fire, and soon
afterwaids scent ofl, on so eltd he, bead fust,
frog fashion, rite thru the top load ove tin
war , He lit a runnin ten foot tuther side
his coat tail wur blowed of tu his shoulders
the bine end ove his gallusses wus rapped
roun his neck, the tale ove his shurt wus
loose, an up in tbe air thirty feet, still a
riziu and blazin like a kommit, his britch
es hung loos on the front side, like onto a
forked aprun, while the sitting part ove
em wus blowed tu kingdom cum, and so
wur everything else belonging to that re-
giu, while bis back wus as black as a side
ove upper lether. It rained tin buckets,
and strainers, an tin cubs, an pepper boxes
an pans, an stage homes, all over that
street for two minuits an a half.
Now that explosion, an the tin war a
rattlin, an a ramin, made a rite peart noise
specially ove a still day; in fac, euuf to
